Wapuu Bot is here to help…supposably

WordCamp Miami’s official slack bot is @wapuu. @wapuu uses Slack’s API to respond to messages when his name is mentioned and also listens in on the public channel for certain important phrases.

@wapuu is a Node/Express Javascript app which uses the botkit framework by Howdy.ai.

Here are some helpful and not so helpful things that @wapuu can do.

Wapuu Will Try to Guess

Wapuu is listening to the general messages on Slack and will try to interject helpful info about maps, parking, directions, registration, food, kids camp.

I need directions
Where to do I go for registration?
What’s for lunch?

#holawapuu channel

We set up a special channel where @wapuu might get a little hyper-caffeinated. Join the channel and try some of the following to interact with @wapuu.

Mention coffee, cafecito, cafe con leche, etc.

Wapuu will serve up all sorts of coffee goodness whenever you mention certain coffee related keywords. An ambient word will just get a Slack reaction but a mention of @wapuu will show a .gif.

just try it, mention:

coffee
cafecito
caffeine
cafe con leche

or

@wapuu hit me with a cafe cubano
@wapuu I'll take a vanilla latte
@wapuu quiero un cortadito
@wapuu must have coffee

Say hi to @wapuu and give him a compliment

hola @wapuu
yo@wapuu
thanks @wapuu
@wapuu sak pase
@wapuu wadup mon

Easter Eggs!

There are a few keywords that will cause Wapuu to respond with a (hopefully humorous) response. Try mentioning things related to WordPress or anything Miami to get him going.
